Notes

"Matilda Mackintosh was baptized by Rev. John Clanly of the
Presbyterian faith. Her parents were Dr. George Mackintosh and
Sarah Weitzel. Her father was of Scotch descent. Their family
coat of arms was a cat reaching after a glove, with the motto
"Touch not the cat but a glove." Mention is made of his clan in
the novel by Sir Walter Scott, in his novel "The Fair Maid of
Perth." They were fighters as far back, as heard from -- none of
them "nursed on the milk of the white doe."

---------- Notes written by Amanda Morgan about her mother:

"Now that I come to write of my mother, my pen weakens -- I can
find no words to do her justice. One so complete in the
qualities of heart and mind is rarely met with. Tender and sweet
and loving, with no ambition but to be a good wife and mother.
'To do justice, love mercy and walk humbly before God' was her
creed, and faithfully she observed it. The long and ceaseless
devotion of her husband attests to her enduring virtues. 'Her
children rise and call her blessed.' Their devotion speaks of
their gratitude for the privilege of calling her by the sweet
name of Mother. It was impossible to be near her and not feel
the influence of her [unreadable]. Her charity was unparalled.
The world would be better if there were more like her."
